People will say that baseball is different in Latin America in an effort to excuse Kendry’s behavior. We say that baseball is baseball. Teammates, regardless of country or culture, need to know that they can count on each other.

Counting on Morales, however, would now appear about as intelligent as standing behind a pathologicalpunk like Felix Martinez. Kendry quit; it’s that simple. This is the guy in whom the Angels are placing so much trust?

While Kendry Morales aligned with no-name minor leaguers and morons, his Major League caliber teammates (like Nelson Cruz and Alexi Casilla) did the right thing, taking the field with their team.
